Thriving at present, following up his C&D handicap win in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 32 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Sure to remain competitive.

C&D winner who was below form in the face of a stiff task in Lingfield listed event last week. This more suitable.

Prolific winner who did especially well to get up late on in 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has to be taken seriously.

Has been on his game all winter and needed only a little improvement to resume winning ways in 8-runner handicap over C&D 33 days ago, driven out. Will continue to give a good account.

Forecasts

Tone The Barone (5/4), Lihou (7/2), Venturous (5/1), Lord Riddiford (8/1), Lomu (17/2), Royal Birth (20/1), Nigel Nott (33/1)

Verdict

TONE THE BARONE is proving progressive and a 2 lb rise for his narrow-margin Chelmsford win rather underplays his superiority, so he's fancied to go in again on his tapeta debut. Venturous is another thriving at present and has to be considered a big threat, along wih Lihou, who has done little wrong all winter.

  1. TONE THE BARONE
  2. VENTUROUS (IRE)
  3. LIHOU
